Ssl – HTTPS/SSL not working with Cups

cupsssl

I have a site

mysite.com

and a printer

mysite.com:631/printers/myprinter

Well, https:// www.mysite.com works perfectly and is validated, but https:// www.mysite.com:631/printers/myprinter won't. It says that the connection is not secured and I cannot install the printer.

This is what I have in conf.d in my CUPS server:

DefaultEncryption Required
ServerCertificate /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite/cert.pem
ServerKey /etc/letsencrypt/live/mysite/privkey.pem
SSLPort 443

Any help making the printer and the site https?

Copy your SSL (example LetsEncrypt ) to cups directory, as shown below:

cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/fullchain.pem >> /etc/cups/ssl/server.crt
cat /etc/letsencrypt/live/yourdomain.com/privkey.pem >> /etc/cups/ssl/server.key

restart cups-server:

systemctl restart cups  # on CentOS

Apache SSL – Site Not Using Correct IP on Ubuntu

I've set this on on my servers by adjusting the /etc/apache2/ports.conf file as follows:

<IfModule mod_ssl.c>
NameVirtualHost *:443
    # SSL name based virtual hosts are not yet supported, therefore no
    # NameVirtualHost statement here
    NameVirtualHost *:443
    Listen 443
</IfModule>

You should then be able to use by editing /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/mysite.com (some code omitted to shorten the example):

<VirtualHost *:443>
     ServerName mysite1.com
     SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/localcerts/www.mysite1.com.crt
     SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/localcerts/www.mysite1.com.pem
</VirtualHost>

<VirtualHost *:443>
    ServerName mysite2.com
    SSLCertificateFile    /etc/ssl/localcerts/www.mysite2.com.crt
    SSLCertificateKeyFile /etc/ssl/localcerts/www.mysite2.com.pem
</VirtualHost>

For as many vhosts as you like.

Ssl – Proper configuration of Virtual Hosts SSL

It looks to me that you are not specifying a 443 port or a 80 port for the virtual host. So everything is heading towards the virtual host which is configured for SSL. So http traffic is not being accepted as it is configured to only accept SSL. Try this

NameVirtualHost *:80

<VirtualHost *:80>
   ServerName blah
   DocumentRoot /var/www/html/

</VirtualHost>


<VirtualHost *:443>

 ...
 - your config here -
 ...

</VirtualHost>

You could even do a redirect for the virtual host running on port 80. Maybe something like this:

Redirect permanent / https://<URL>
